Today (1st), the first day of 'step-by-step recovery' (with Corona), the vaccination for COVID-19 for 12-15 years old (born 2006-2009) started.
According to the COVID-19 Vaccination Response Promotion Team, Pfizer vaccinations for 12 to 15-year-olds who started their vaccination reservations on the 18th will begin in earnest today.
In terms of grades, they are from the 6th grade of elementary school to the 3rd grade of middle school.
The reservation rate for 12-15 year olds, counted until 00:00 today, is only 27.2% (508,000 reservations), which is somewhat low, but the final count is expected to rise even higher as the reservation period remains until 6pm on the 12th. It's possible.
Those aged 12 to 15 who have made an appointment will receive Pfizer vaccines at consigned medical institutions across the country from today to the 27th.
When visiting an inoculation institution, you must bring your ID, and if the guardian is not accompanying you, you must also bring the consent form for inoculation implementation written by the guardian and a preliminary examination sheet together.
The day of vaccination and 1-2 days after vaccination are treated as absences without a medical certificate.
The first vaccination (Pfizer) for 16-17 year olds, which started on the 18th of last month, will continue until the 13th.
16-17 year-olds who do not make a reservation during the pre-booking period may receive the same-day vaccination after checking whether the Pfizer vaccine is in stock at the consigned medical institution that administers the Pfizer vaccination.
However, on the 30th of last month, it was reported that a teenager, presumed to be a high school senior, died after receiving the Pfizer vaccine.
A teenage student was reported to have died on the 27th of last month, 75 days after receiving the Pfizer vaccine on August 13th, and it is known that there was no specific underlying disease.
Additional vaccinations (boost shots) are also available for immunocompromised persons over the age of 18, such as acute leukemia patients, organ transplant patients, HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) patients, and immunosuppressive patients.
In principle, the authorities make it possible to receive the booster vaccination from 6 months after the primary vaccination, but in the case of immunocompromised and Janssen vaccinations, it is exceptionally possible from two months after considering the vaccination effect.
The promotion team informs the vaccination schedule by sending an individual text message to those who are receiving additional vaccination within 6 months of completing the vaccination by sending an individual text message from three weeks before the date of additional vaccination.
